A moment later, on the edge of Guijian, in a small secular town.
"Waiter, please bring two bottles of wine and a table of signature dishes."
"Okay, sir!"
Xiang Shen sat down in the private seat by the small window on the second floor and dismissed the waiter. He turned back and looked at Jianfeng with a smile, "Senior, do you still like this place?"
Jianfeng stared at the pedestrian street outside with a daze in his eyes. When he heard the question, he nodded subconsciously.
He had been hiding for tens of thousands of years, and once again saw this ordinary smoke and fire in the human world, he felt mixed emotions in his heart. Only he knew how it felt.
"The food and drinks are here!"
After a while, the waiter shouted, calling Jianfeng back to his senses.
He took a gentle breath, looked away from the street, and asked aloud: "Miss Xiang likes the prosperity of mortals?"
"I can't say I like it."
Xiang Shen picked up the jug and filled a glass of wine for Jianfeng. His tone was somewhat casual: "We are mortals, how can we say what we like and dislike?"
Jianfeng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "It's true as you said, we monks will not become immortals one day, but will eventually become ordinary people, so there is no need to pretend to be extraordinary."
Xiang Shen paused slightly with the wine glass in his hand. She didn't mean what she said, but since Jian Feng understood it this way, he just let him go and didn't bother to correct her.
After drinking for three rounds, Jianfeng's posture became much more casual.
He looked out the window and looked at a young man mingling among the pedestrians on the street. His eyes were slightly surprised: "It's really strange that a sect disciple appears in such a small and cramped town."
Xiang Shuang glanced across the street from the corner of his eye and explained: "Jiang Yi gathered the power of the three sects to form a "human network" to cross the catastrophe in the center of the earth in Dongzhou. This person is on patrol to prevent mortals from dying and getting angry. "
At this point, Xiang Shu paused and said half-jokingly: "Heaven knows everything and knows everything. Senior Jianfeng should already understand this."
"It's not as mysterious as you said."
Jianfeng shook his head: "I just borrowed the Heavenly Swordsmanship to steal a small part of Heaven's power to cover myself. Just avoiding Heaven's punishment is the limit. How can I take care of other things?"
Xiang Shen's eyes flickered: "Heavenly Swordsmanship, what kind of swordsmanship is it?"
Jianfeng fell silent and drank several more glasses of wine before he spoke quietly: "Heavenly Sword, as the name suggests, is the sword of heaven, used for punishment. I am a swordsman by nature. In the past years, I learned this swordsmanship from an unexpected encounter. I am very happy. If you are crazy, then practice it.
However, it was not until I reached the highest level of cultivation that I suddenly realized that the so-called adventure was just a plan laid down by the Pantheon in advance. "
Speaking of this past event, Jianfeng couldn't hide the gloomy look on his face, "The Pantheon had tampered with the Heavenly Sword Technique, and I was accidentally manipulated by it using secret techniques. I couldn't help but turn into the incarnation of Heavenly Dao.
At that time, Master had already mastered the Black Evil Thunder, and was only one step away from defeating the Heavenly Dao. However, after seeing that the Heavenly Dao's true body was revealed to be me, my Daoist heart was shaken. "
Jianfeng squeezed the wine glass tightly, "The master created a crack and gave it to the Pantheon. They took advantage of the gap and poured in demons to pollute the master's mind and make him unable to move. Then they controlled me and borrowed the power of heaven... with one sword Kill it!"
"This calculation is interconnected and seamless."
Jianfeng sighed deeply, "Pantheon recognized the master's weakness. From the moment the plan was exposed, the master knew that everything was irreversible and could only place his hope on future generations.
Fortunately, my master delayed me for a while, so I used the body of Heaven to see through the flaws in the Heavenly Sword Technique. After making up for it, I took the opportunity to take away part of my authority to cover up my own existence, and hid in the Valley of the Demon King.
This hiding lasted for twenty thousand years. "
There was a hint of sadness in Jianfeng's eyes: "In these 20,000 years, I still had a glimmer of hope at the beginning.
I secretly cultivate outstanding geniuses in the world of cultivation and give them opportunities, hoping to use their hands to counterattack the Pantheon. But I soon discovered that this approach simply didn't work.
Even the overlords of Eastern Continent as powerful as Master could not escape the calculations of the Pantheon, so what are the geniuses who have not yet grown up? "
"Seeing those geniuses dying like chickens and dogs under the shadow of the Pantheon, I finally gave up those useless struggles. For more than ten thousand years, see
The years without hope were too painful... I went crazy. "
"Just when I thought that the next countless years would be spent in such despair and darkness, you came."
Jianfeng suddenly raised his head, with a glint in his eyes, "Your relationship with the Puppet Sect allows me to find some sustenance, but there are too many lessons learned from the past, so I don't dare to have too much hope, so I can only try my best to help you."
When Xiang Shu heard this, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Senior, why didn't you inform me of the existence of the Pantheon at that time, so that I could be prepared."
"I can't tell."
Jianfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The effect of the Heavenly Sword Technique to conceal the secrets of Heaven can only affect myself. Several people I rashly reminded in the past were all targeted by the Pantheon in advance and died tragically on the spot."
When Xiang Shen heard this, he nodded slightly, and most of the doubts in his heart were solved.
"The old demon king said that you, like my master, are both born with anomalies."
Jianfeng looked at Xiang Shu and continued: "Master was invincible back then. It was not difficult to succeed. It was just that I failed because I was too soft-hearted.
In today's era of severed inheritance, it is hundreds of times more difficult to get rid of the cancer of the Pantheon than it was in ancient times? But you still succeeded. In this regard, you are better than my master. "
Xiang Shen shook his head slightly as he listened, "I don't have your master's talent, but I'm just luckier than her."
Jianfeng laughed dumbly, "You have become an earth god. This is something that Master tried and failed to achieve back then. Why should you be humble?"
Xiang Shen pursed his lips and smiled, saying nothing more.
Only she knows that this is not self-effacing, but really good luck.
If she hadn't just reached the fifth level of "Ancestral Seal", she would have been reduced to ashes with the destruction of the earth's core underground. How could she sit here and talk to Jianfeng?
The two of them drank wine leisurely, not in a hurry to finish the conversation in just a moment, and chatted casually.
People were coming and going in the restaurant, from the hustle and bustle of dawn to the dead of night, the two people at the table seemed to be transparent, not in the eyes of the people around them, and no one would disturb them.
The jug on the table was already empty. Xiang Shen took out Luo Hai Niang's spirit wine from the storage ring, and the two of them continued drinking.
In the middle of the night, Jianfeng drank the last sip of the spirit wine and laughed, which dispelled the alcoholism in his body and the pain of tens of thousands of years. His brows became more free and easy.
Xiang Shen knew that the time had come, so he put down his wine glass and chuckled, "Senior Jianfeng, are you interested in making a deal?"
Jianfeng was a smart man, and he understood everything clearly. He asked, "Is it related to resentment?"
Xiang Shen nodded lightly, "The resentment is nothing, and the sword's intention should be able to disinfect it. However, the resentment of the Earth God is too pure, and the junior's sword is not sharp enough. I hope the senior can help."
Jianfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Let me try to spread some resentment."
When Xiang Shen heard the words, his mind moved, and a trace of black flakes spread out from his fingertips. The power of twisting resentment actually tore a crack in the void in an instant.
After thinking about it for more than half a year, she could only manage to control this ray of resentment and keep it half an inch away from her body. Once she let go of control, the resentment would retract into her body on its own and would not be able to escape.
Seeing the resentment, Jianfeng's eyes suddenly showed a cautious look. He pointed like a sword and pointed it at the black catkins. Countless white sharp edges shot out from his fingertips and became entangled with the black catkins.
After a full hour, the white sword light finally dissipated together with the black catkins.
Jianfeng let out a breath and sighed, "No wonder you can't do anything. Such resentment is so fierce that even the power of the Heavenly Sword is extremely difficult to kill. But fortunately, it can be solved. It will take some time at most."
The moment Xiang Shu saw the black catkins dissipating, his heart lightened, "It would be great if senior is willing to help, and I won't let senior suffer."
"No need."
Jianfeng waved his big hand and said: "You avenged Master, and I am worried that I can't repay you. What does this little effort mean?"
At this point, Jianfeng suddenly remembered something and asked: "By the way, how much resentment in the heart of the earth do you still have in your body? I can also estimate the time of seclusion."
Xiang Shu's expression became a little subtle. After a moment of silence,
Still telling the truth: "If the seniors follow the speed just now and disinfect without sleep, it will probably take... 300,000 years."
Jianfeng's eyes trembled in fear and he took a breath of air.
300,000 years? !
Still sleepless, are you sure you didn't say an extra ten thousand words?
Although he has taken away part of the power of heaven, his lifespan is also limited. Whether he can live to 300,000 years is still open to question. If you just took care of everything, was it too early?
Xiang Shen spoke at the right time and gave the other party a step down: "Junior has a suggestion, senior, would you like to listen to it?"
Jianfeng smiled bitterly, "If you have a way to shorten the time, just say it."
Xiang Shu smiled slightly: "Senior, didn't you just say that you only snatched part of the power of heaven? Junior can help senior take a step further."
Hearing this, Jianfeng's eyes suddenly changed, "You mean..."
"Heaven and earth are the mother of all things and are inherently connected. The body of heaven can also carry the pure energy of the heart of the earth."
A flash of light flashed in Xiang Shen's eyes, "Juniors can condense their resentment into beads, wrap them with pure energy, and transfer them to the seniors together.
The seniors used heavenly swordsmanship to create a body of heaven. The resentment will disappear when it enters your body. It will disappear on its own without any extra effort.
At the same time, seniors can also use the power of Qing Qi to make up for their own shortcomings, seize more power of heaven, and transform into a complete heaven.
This is a way to get the best of both worlds. I wonder what your predecessors think? "
When Jianfeng heard the last part, he immediately laughed, "You have already mentioned this, how can I not respond? It's just that you made a mistake in one sentence. This Dongzhou Heavenly Way is not complete."
Xiang Shu's eyes were startled: "Incomplete?"
"Um."
Jianfeng nodded lightly: "Master has long said that this Heavenly Way is incomplete. I didn't believe it at first. It wasn't until I snatched some of the power that I discovered that this Heavenly Way's power is incomplete and its rules are also flawed.
Just like when ordinary monks reach the elixir formation stage, a heavenly catastrophe should come. The pure Qi in the center of the earth is different. Its existence is invisible and formless, and it is always complete. "
At this point, Jianfeng changed the topic and said with a smile: "Compared between the two, you, the earth god, are much more powerful than me, a half-hearted incarnation of heaven. Even being called the Lord of Dongzhou is not an exaggeration."
